Ex-Anarcliist Candidate Michael Hollis
Believes Nixon Should Be Vice President
By DALE GIBSON
DTH MANAGING EDITOR
Richard M, Nixon, the man
the Republican party thinks
should be the next president,
made a whirlwind visit to
Chapel Hill last Wednesday.
The purpose of Nixon's
visit, which was billed as
non-political, was to tour the
North Carolina - Manpower
Development (MDC) computer
complex in Phillips Hall.
After arriving on the
University campus some 30
minutes behind schedule,
accompanied by his wife Pat
and Sen. Thurston Morton of
Kentucky,' the former Vice
President spoke briefly to the
awaiting crowd of about 300.
After the speech he then
received a briefing on the
computer complex from
Luther H. Hodges Jr., chairman
of the board for MDC and A.
Wright Elliott, vice president,
Urban Affaris Division of the
National Association of
Manufacturers.
Following the briefing,
Nixon went to Phillips Hall
where he was treated to a first
hand look at the computer in
action.
The stopover in Chapel Hill
RICHARD NIXON
Dick Nixon For Veep?
"Nixon for Vice President"
was the inscription on one lone
sign sticking up out of the
crowd of Nixon for President
supporters in Chapel Hill
Waving the sign high so
Nixon would be sure and see it
was UNC graduate Michael
Hollis, who for a short while
last spring was a candidate for
president of the student body
on the Anarchist ticket.
Why the sign? "I support
Richard Nixon for vice
president," Hollis explains,
"because he has experience and
that is the one office he is
qualified to hold."
"W7ho do you support for
president?" someone asked.
"The button on my lapel
clearly answers that," Hollis
replied, pointing to a "Grover
Cleveland for President"
button on his coat.
"But isn't he
someone objected.
dead?'
"Yes, but why should that
keep him from running?"
Hollis answered. "In asking
whether Cleveland is alive," he
explained, "they are implying
that Nixon is alive, but I don't
think he is. He has a very dead
personality."
Humphrey is no better,
according to Hollis. While
Nixon never had his time,
Humphrey's time has come and
gone, he said.
was the first leg in his visit to
North Carolina which took him
to Charlotte Wednesday night
for a political visit including a
speech and enthusiastic
reception.
Nixon's motorcade pulled
into the parking lot beside
Carroll Hall shortly after 2
p.m. Wednesday. Surrounded
be security men and beseiged
by curious and sometimes
enthusiastic Nixon supporters,
the Republican nominee
moved through the crowd
briefly then leaped to the
trunk of his black and white
Lincoln Continental to speak
to the sparsely assembled
group.
While on the rear deck of
the automobile, Nixon spoke
briefly but was able to be
heard by only a few of those
assembled. After his brief talk,
the former vice president
moved to the door of Carroll
Hall where an amplification
system was set up.
"It looks like the candidate
himself almost messed this one
the reasons for his visit to
Chapel HU1. "I felt fortunate to
be able to go to school at
Duke. North Carolina is noted
for its fine educational
facilities and rivalries between
the schools.
"That's the reason we came
here today to get a little more
education on this computer
i h complex which greatly signifies
through its many universities."
Despite the fact that the
visit was supposed to be
non-political, a bit of partisan
rhetoric had to creep into
Nixon's speech.
"I know there are people in
this crowd who support other
candidates besides myself,"
Nixon told the assemblage
which featured a smattering of
signs endorsing Humphrey and
even some McCarthy
carry-overs.
"As I travel through this
country I realize what is
happening all over the nation.
The people now want the type
of leadership I offer."

The
Manpower

computer program that
Richard Nixon observed last
Wednesday is a unique
experiment which may soon
become the model for similar
programs across the country.

"As you know, this is a
non-political visit," Nixon said.
This brought a slight tremor of
laughter. "I want you to know
that I am truely delighted to
finally make it to the UNC
campus after having gone to
school at Duke."
Nixon received his law
degree from the Duke
University School of Law
which he attended for three
years.
The unsuccessful candidate
for president in 1960
continued in the characteristic1
Nixon style with a rising voice
and waving hands to emphasize
important points. "According
to our compaign strategy,
North Carolina is a crucial state
for us to carry this year. We
almost did it in 1960 and we
want to carry it this time."
Nixon then expounded on
The program, in operation
for the last six months, has
done "remarkably well," A.
Wright Elliot, a vice president
of the National Association of
Manufacturers, told Nixon in a
briefing session Wednesday.
"The system is not simply,
nor can it be simply, a
matching process," Elliot
explained. It also represents an
attempt to examine the
qualifications and needs of the
unemployed and to find out
realistically what requirements
should be set for jobs, he
explained.
The MDC computer
operation is the only one fully
tested and running in the U.S.
currently, Elliot told Nixon.
Similar experiments have been
started in California and New
York City recently, he said.
